Does the my16 R have dap2? If so what does that bring vs the current my15 R?

Yes, MY16 R's are equipped with DAP2 (Driver Assistance Package II) when you add the option.

In Australia the only addition over DAP1 is blind spot assist. Overseas markets get lane departure warning and maybe more.

If anyone knows anymore please add it on.

Ahh ok, what about the self parking thing? I know the lower models get this and I see it's part of dap2. I may be wrong

Does anyone know what the dealer invoice cost is for a DSG R?

I'm looking at buying a MY16 DSG with full options (DAP2 and Sunroof) or possibly a Wolfsburg in October and I want to know just how low I should be able to push the local dealers.

Currently seeing prices being quoted of around $63k for a DSG with all options or $65 for a Wolfsburg with all options.

I was hoping for closer to the $58-59k mark, is this possible or am I dreaming?

I was also offered an MY15 DSG with all options for $59k but I wouldn't pay near this amount for effectively last years model (MY16's will be on forecourts within the next 4 weeks).

Based on the pricing that I've seen, a Wolfsburg with all options (Sunroof being the only option on Wolfsburg), you should be able to get it for around $61k. Whether or not the dealer wants to offer that price to you is another matter altogether unfortunately.

I cant comment on the MY16 (non-wolfsburg), but I'm guessing that the stock for them is limited over the next few months, given the boats are taken up with a few hundred Wolfsburg models which they don't necessarily want to discount!

Forgot about that, so the R hasn't and isn't going to get Parking Pilot (or whatever they call the self-parking). Again, this is for Australia, not sure if overseas get it or not.
The lower models have had it for a while, but for some reason the R doesn't get it. To be honest though, once I've tried it once I'd never use it again. I don't know anyone that actually uses that feature on a regular basis. Maybe if I had a Tesla I would use it

They must be avoiding the inevitable 4,000rpm launch control reversing test into a parallel parking spot. 206kw is too much to handle for Parking Pilot obviously

Not dreaming at all. I have a MY16 DSG R (non-Wolfsburg) with sunroof, driver assist, and 5 year factory warranty ($1500 option) on order for $60.5k on road. Due to be delivered end of October. Another dealer was willing to go to $61k.

Lowest I could get a Wolfsburg edition to was about $63.5k.

Well apparently they ordered my gti and said I can't change to the R. Oh well

Rubbish. Of course you can change. It's not like you aren't going to by a car from them. Did you speak to the manager?

[Timbo]

Indeed, get the bit between your teeth, and confront them. I've never heard of a dealer that wouldn't accommodate an upgrade order!

I have, problem was he was the ****head that wanted to slug me 69k. They offered me 64k then 63,500 and said I had until the weekend to decide. I said I was busy on the weekend but decided on the GTI any way.

Problem is they will try to screw me over in any case if I change. I asked today if it was too late to change to the R, they said yes. The GTI will be here in mid to late October!
